"Visual artists...have a peculiar ability - and therefore, whether they like it or not, a responsibility - to draw attention to that elusive thing we call reality, which may, when fused with fantasy and personal obsession, bring forth something that can be recognized as art"
- Sir Norman Rosenthal
Van de Weghe Fine Art is pleased to present an exhibition of sculpture by four renowned British artists: Tony Cragg, Douglas Gordon, Damien Hirst and Rachel Whiteread. These artists, each Turner Prize recipients, have been recognized as some of the most ground-breaking contemporary artists working today. The works on view span more than two decades, yet they each draw on the vernacular of the everyday and elevate it through its reinterpretation.
Tony Cragg (b. 1949, Liverpool) was trained as a scientist and came to see art-making as an expansion of his scientific interests. Cragg's early work utilized found materials including construction detritus and household objects arranged systematically on the floor and in stacks, creating a dialogue between natural and artificial materials and forms. Untitled, c.1988 exemplifies Cragg's tansition in the mid 1980s from these arrangements to the free-standing, three-dimensional works he is known for today.
Douglas Gordon (b. 1966, Glasgow) is best known for his work in film and photography, drawing on fixtures of popular culture and collective memory and manipulating them to jarring effect. Gordon skillfully witholds and reveals information, upsetting our assumptions of what will be seen. In Untitled (Blind), a sculpture from 1998, Gordon has taken control of a common set of Venetian blinds, subverting the sense of privacy they usually provide.
Damien Hirst (b. 1965, Leeds) is the most prominent member of the group known as the Young British Artists (or YBAs), which dominated the British art scene in the 1990s. Hirst's work demonstrates a fascination with systems - science and religion chief among them - which we use to mitigate our fear of alienation and death. Dog Days, 2008 is one of Hirst's series of cabinet works, its shelves lined with extinguished cigarettes. Spaced at equal intervals, they echo the ticking of a clock, and evoke the anxiety of and resignation to the inevitable passage of time and its ultimate result.
Rachel Whiteread (b. 1963, London), another member of the YBA group, is best known for making casts of the spaces that surround everyday objects and architectural structures, solidifying their absence. The sculptures often retain the residue of the objects and forms that they enclose creating a fossil of modern life and making memory tangible. Untitled, 2010, is derived from the space underneath a pair of chairs, meticulously hand-carved in Blue Forest Dean and Ancaster stones. They are monuments to the mundane and evoke a sense of nostalgia for those things that are, by their nature, impermanent.
The works on view are prime examples of each artist's oeuvre. The sensitive handling of everyday materials leads to the creation or objects that are both formally beautiful and thought-provoking. The works draws us in, as familiar things do, and make us reconsider the world around us through these different lenses.
Gallery hours are Tuesday – Saturday, from 10:00am to 6:00pm, Mondays by appointment. For further information, please contact Jenn Viola at firstname.lastname@example.com.

CONSOL Energy (NYSE:CNX) is continuing to evolve its business, with plans to form a master limited partnership. Walter Energy's (OTC:WLT) efforts to shift its coal footprint, meanwhile, have left it over-leveraged and bleeding red ink.
Change is constant, but not always good
No business can sit still and survive, with the buggy whip being a tailor-made example. That kind of explains why Walter Energy made the decision to increase its exposure to the metallurgical coal market. Thermal coal, used for producing energy, was increasingly being targeted by environmentalists. However, met coal, used to make steel, wasn't. And the same economic development that was leading to increased thermal coal use overseas was also leading to higher met coal demand.
And, better yet, met coal commands higher prices, making it a more profitable business than selling thermal. At least that was true in 2011, when Walter Energy paid around $3.3 billion to get more met exposure. That type of coal now accounts for roughly 95% of the company's business. Only since that point in time, met coal prices have plummeted.
About a third of the acquisition cost was written off in 2012. That write-off, however, balances against the debt that Walter Energy used to make the met purchase. And that paints an ugly picture. Debt was a modest 20% of the miner's capital structure before the acquisition. After the deal, it was a manageable 50%. But after the write-off, it rose to a more troublesome 75% or so of the capital structure.
If met coal markets don't turn higher soon, Walter Energy could have a big problem on its hands. Although you could argue that most of the damage has been done, only the most aggressive investors should get aboard Walter Energy until it stops bleeding red ink -- something it's done for seven quarters running now.
Change is good
Change in the coal industry, however, isn't always a bad thing. For example, CONSOL Energy saw the environmental problems impacting coal, and also made a strategic shift. It shifted toward natural gas, which was quickly displacing coal in the U.S. power grid. For example, natural gas use for power doubled between 1995 and 2010. And the U.S. Energy Information Administration expects demand to keep going higher.
To help fund its gas efforts, CONSOL Energy sold off its oldest and least efficient coal mines. That changed the company from a coal miner with some gas assets to a gas driller with some really well positioned coal assets. However, even at that time, CONSOL Energy hinted that it might not be done. That's because it owns assets beyond coal mines and gas wells that management didn't believe the market was fully valuing.
That's why it's now looking to spin off its Marcellus shale gathering business into a limited partnership. That will start the process of highlighting the valuable assets hidden beneath CONSOL Energy's material energy businesses. It could also provide an avenue for future funding if CONSOL Energy decides to sell more midstream assets to the new entity. Some of the most notable assets inside CONSOL Energy include the Baltimore coal export terminal and its gathering operations in fields beyond the Marcellus shale.
Good and bad change
Walter Energy's move into met coal wasn't a bad decision, it was just poorly timed. It doubled down on a commodity when prices were peaking. That could lead the company down a road from which it can't recover. And the longer met coal prices remain depressed, the harder it will be for Walter Energy to ensure its own survival.
CONSOL Energy, which has also undergone big changes of its own, has charted a better, more diversified course. That said, its share price has plodded along for the past five years. Recent moves suggest management wants to change that, which means now could be a good time to jump aboard.

Swimming and Diving Come Up Short Against Stanford
The ASU swimming and diving teams wrapped up their two matchups in California this weekend by both taking their second losses in as many days. Saturday afternoon the Sun Devil men dropped their contest to Stanford, 135-101, while the women were defeated 148-68.
It started well for the men when the relay team of Richard Bohus, Thibaut Capitaine, Alex Coci and Tadas Duskinas took first in the 200 medley freestyle relay with a time of 1:30.25. The group also won the 400 freestyle relay with a time of 3:01.76 with Barkley Perry substituting Capitaine.
Tristin Baxter refuses to lose when it comes to long-distance swims on the women's side. She finished first for the second-straight day in the 1000 freestyle with a time of 10:03.32, and also got the top spot in the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:51.21.
The men's 200 breaststroke may have been the best swim of the day for the Devils, taking the top three spots. Capitaine led the way with a time of 2:02.32, followed in order by Kyle Sockwell (2:07.55) and Zac Dalby (2:09.01).
The Sun Devils take a couple weeks off before returning home to Mona Plummer Aquatic Center to face their in-state rivals, Arizona. The meet will begin at 2:00 p.m. MT.

Photronics FYQ1 Rev, EPS Slightly Miss on Slower Chip Industry Trends
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Semiconductor equipment vendor Photronics (PLAB) this afternoon reportedfiscal Q1 revenue and earnings per share that were just slightly below consensus expectations.
Revenue in the three months ended in January rose 2%, year over year to $101.5 million, yielding EPS of $4 cents, excluding some costs.
Analysts had been modeling $102.2 million and 5 cents per share.
CEO Constantine Maricostas remarked that sales were hurt by a slump in the chip business following the holiday season, and the lack of expected chip-making activity at the time of the Chinese New Year:
First-quarter semiconductor revenue, which is traditionally soft due to customer seasonal shutdowns, was affected by a slower-than-expected post-holiday recovery at our mainstream business in the U.S. and Europe, the absence of an expected pre-Lunar New Year pull-in in Taiwan, and a delayed ramp in our high-end memory. Flat panel display (FPD) photomask sales in the first quarter were stable and had volume similar to last year. Our Korean IC business rebounded positively both sequentially and compared with a year ago [...] We are well positioned to capitalize on high-end opportunities and deliver increased revenue and profitability as the market turns in our favor. We have a significant technology advantage, our financial position is solid and we are strengthening our strategic customer relationships," concluded Macricostas.
Photronics shares are unchanged at $8.15 in late trading.

That was good indeed Gail, though I can't get the 2nd one to open. First one reminds of this li'l error message.Gail that was priceless!
The first thing i do with a new computer is disable Mr. Paperclip. It just annoys me that I have to go through the process.
Paperclipguy is annoying but poisonally the first first thing I do with a new 'puter is pull off the guldang Number Lock and Insert keys. Grrrrr.
More basically methinks MS has to reveal who the hell is writing when they refer to "My" computer, "my" this, "my" that, and why you get "welcomed" to a machine of which you thought you just assumed ownership at a thousand bucks a pop. A grand buys a lot of contempt.


text: Surrealism began as a literary movement, for which reason Max Morise attacked surrealist art in his article "Les yeux enchantés", published in the first issue of La Révolution Surréaliste (1 December 1924). Little more than a year later, however, André Breton successfully championed the notion that painting and drawing play an important role in Surrealism. Works by an illustrious roster of artists will enable visitors to study the graphic techniques and artistic strategies developed by the Surrealists to lend expression to the dreams and unconscious worlds that populate their pictures. This is the first time that the surrealist holdings in the Kupferstichkabinett have been subjected to extensive research and study. The exhibition will include works by Otto Abt, Hans Arp, Serge Brignoni, Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Meret Oppenheim, Joan Miró, Francis Picabia, Man Ray, Walter Kurt Wiemken and others.

New York City (Nov. 19, 2013) — The annual appearance of fruitcake on our nation's supermarket shelves can mean only one thing: the holidays are upon us. And with that comes the creeping panic over what to give hard-to-buy-for friends and family members. The perfect solution: CityPASS® ticket booklets. Not only do they save you up to half off admission to the top attractions in 11 North American destinations, they beat fruitcake hands down in five important ways:
1. You always know what's inside: Are those chewy shriveled things candied cherries? Cranberries? Currants? And is that a hint of rum or brandy? Fruitcake ingredients can be a bit of a mystery. But you'll never wonder what's inside a CityPASS ticket booklet, which always contains deeply discounted admission to the very best marquee attractions in a given destination: places like the Empire State Building in New York City, Disneyland in Southern California, Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, and Seattle's iconic Space Needle.
2. They're time savers: You can try buttering up an attraction's ticket taker with a slice of fruitcake, but the only way you're guaranteed to skip the queue at many attractions is with your trusty CityPASS ticket, which lets holders save time and bypass the main-entrance ticket line like a VIP.
3. They're waistline and budget-friendly: What better way to avoid holiday calories than by cutting out the fruitcake and getting a little exercise strolling through museums, aquariums, zoos and historical sites? CityPASS ticket booklets can make that happen. And as good as the booklets are for your waistline, they're even better for your wallet, saving you up to half off the combined cost of the included admission tickets.
4. People actually like them: Okay, some fruitcakes are bearable, but most are met with a forced smile and an "Oh, you shouldn't have. No, I mean it. Really! You shouldn't have." But the gift of travel is always appreciated. Imagine the memories you'll help create for your nieces, nephews, siblings, children, coworkers and friends when you give a CityPASS ticket booklet.
5. They're an antidote for challenging holiday houseguests: An extra large bite of fruitcake may keep Uncle George from regaling you with his peculiar brand of politics for a minute or two, but a CityPASS ticket booklet can keep him out of your hair for days. He'll be off enjoying the sights and having a ball while you savor some much-needed downtime that you can use for baking, wrapping gifts, decorating, or even just a nap.
Once activated (first used), CityPASS ticket booklets are valid for nine consecutive days (14 days for the Southern California CityPASS admission card). They can be purchased online at CityPASS.com or at any of the participating attractions.
For more than 15 years, CityPASS ticket booklets have been a premier product for travelers who want to visit a destination's top attractions while enjoying significant savings of up to 50%. CityPASS ticket booklets, which have a 95% customer recommendation rating, are available for New York City, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Southern California and Toronto. For more information, visit CityPASS.com.

If the range is wide, you know there's more uncertainty, and to not give too much credence to any one possible forecast outcome.

With its space-age vibe, the Oriental Pearl Tower stands out even among the iconic buildings of Shanghai's bustling Pudong District. And what better way to travel through space than the tower's network of advanced Otis® lifts?
The tower features 11 steel spheres of different sizes, linked along three columns. The tower is supported at its base by three diagonal columns. At night, a 3-D light show illuminates the tower against the district's celebrated skyline.
The tower draws an estimated 2.8 million visitors a year with attractions like a revolving restaurant, shopping center, a hotel, even a roller coaster.
The names of the spheres suggest interplanetary travel, befitting its futuristic architecture: The highest observation deck is the Space Module; the lowest, Space City. The hotel that occupies the five smaller spheres is the Space Hotel.
To reach Space City, the lowest observation level at 90 metres, visitors ride a circular glass Otis lift traveling at 2.5 metres per second, a speed that gives them time to enjoy the view.
Upon opening, the tower featured China's first double-deck lift, technology invented by Otis to increase a building's passenger capacity using fewer hoistways to free valuable core space.
We've since added four lifts. As part of a modernisation project, we're converting two single-deck lifts to double decks to boost passenger capacity by nearly a third.
Steel spheres
Wu Liangyong, China's most influential architect and urban planner, said the tower's design called to mind a line of Tang Dynasty poetry contemplating the sound of "pearls large and small" falling onto a jade plate.
The tower's chief architect, Jiang Huancheng, however, said he was unaware of the poem, "Pipa Song," and described his design in more mundane terms: "three legs, one bowl and one umbrella."
Part of the Shanghai History Museum's collection is housed in the exhibition room at the tower's base. The collection charts the city's history from its opening as an international port in 1843 to the Communist victory of 1949.
The museum currently has no permanent home and other parts of the collection can be seen at other Shanghai museums.
Completed in 1994, the Oriental Pearl Tower stood as the tallest structure in China until 2007, when it was surpassed by the Shanghai World Financial Center (492 metres), another Otis project in the Pudong District.
The tower continues to operate as a radio and television tower, transmitting signals across Shanghai for around 30 television and radio stations.

- nutlin-3 (2) (remove)
- Medizin (2) (remove)
- Adaptation of cancer cells from different entities to the MDM2 inhibitor nutlin-3 results in the emergence of p53-mutated multi-drug-resistant cancer cells (2011)
- Six p53 wild-type cancer cell lines from infrequently p53-mutated entities (neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and melanoma) were continuously exposed to increasing concentrations of the murine double minute 2 inhibitor nutlin-3, resulting in the emergence of nutlin-3-resistant, p53-mutated sublines displaying a multi-drug resistance phenotype. Only 2 out of 28 sublines adapted to various cytotoxic drugs harboured p53 mutations. Nutlin-3-adapted UKF-NB-3 cells (UKF-NB-3rNutlin10 μM, harbouring a G245C mutation) were also radiation resistant. Analysis of UKF-NB-3 and UKF-NB-3rNutlin10 μM cells by RNA interference experiments and lentiviral transduction of wild-type p53 into p53-mutated UKF-NB-3rNutlin10 μM cells revealed that the loss of p53 function contributes to the multi-drug resistance of UKF-NB-3rNutlin10 μM cells. Bioinformatics PANTHER pathway analysis based on microarray measurements of mRNA abundance indicated a substantial overlap in the signalling pathways differentially regulated between UKF-NB-3rNutlin10 μM and UKF-NB-3 and between UKF-NB-3 and its cisplatin-, doxorubicin-, or vincristine-resistant sublines. Repeated nutlin-3 adaptation of neuroblastoma cells resulted in sublines harbouring various p53 mutations with high frequency. A p53 wild-type single cell-derived UKF-NB-3 clone was adapted to nutlin-3 in independent experiments. Eight out of ten resulting sublines were p53-mutated harbouring six different p53 mutations. This indicates that nutlin-3 induces de novo p53 mutations not initially present in the original cell population. Therefore, nutlin-3-treated cancer patients should be carefully monitored for the emergence of p53-mutated, multi-drug-resistant cells.
- Human neuroblastoma cells with acquired resistance to the p53 activator RITA retain functional p53 and sensitivity to other p53 activating agents (2012)
- Adaptation of wild-type p53 expressing UKF-NB-3 cancer cells to the murine double minute 2 inhibitor nutlin-3 causes de novo p53 mutations at high frequency (13/20) and multi-drug resistance. Here, we show that the same cells respond very differently when adapted to RITA, a drug that, like nutlin-3, also disrupts the p53/Mdm2 interaction. All of the 11 UKF-NB-3 sub-lines adapted to RITA that we established retained functional wild-type p53 although RITA induced a substantial p53 response. Moreover, all RITA-adapted cell lines remained sensitive to nutlin-3, whereas only five out of 10 nutlin-3-adapted cell lines retained their sensitivity to RITA. In addition, repeated adaptation of the RITA-adapted sub-line UKF-NB-3rRITA10 μM to nutlin-3 resulted in p53 mutations. The RITA-adapted UKF-NB-3 sub-lines displayed no or less pronounced resistance to vincristine, cisplatin, and irradiation than nutlin-3-adapted UKF-NB-3 sub-lines. Furthermore, adaptation to RITA was associated with fewer changes at the expression level of antiapoptotic factors than observed with adaptation to nutlin-3. Transcriptomic analyses indicated the RITA-adapted sub-lines to be more similar at the gene expression level to the parental UKF-NB-3 cells than nutlin-3-adapted UKF-NB-3 sub-lines, which correlates with the observed chemotherapy and irradiation sensitivity phenotypes. In conclusion, RITA-adapted cells retain functional p53, remain sensitive to nutlin-3, and display a less pronounced resistance phenotype than nutlin-3-adapted cells.

What's Next – House Arrest for Untrimmed Nails?
A word to the wise in Florida – if you have a penchant for all things pink, just be sure to keep the pink off your pup's paws! Christine Hill of Jacksonville Florida learned this the hard way when she innocently bought a bottle of dye specifically for dogs and colored her poodle's paws pink for fun on Halloween.
However, there is apparently a city ordinance in Florida (and apparently in Denver also) that prohibits people from coloring pet or animal fur. Hill discovered this fact when she was slapped with a $225 fine by an animal control officer who happened to spot Hill and her pink fluff ball walking in the field across from her house. The ticket said Hill was in violation for artificially coloring her animal! Who knew??
I did some further digging around and this code appears to be in place to discourage people from dyeing pets, bunnies, chicks and other critters at Easter - I kinda get their point – but a fine for her pinkifying her pooch seems a little severe…. what do you think?
Dye Your Dog, Do Hard Time
More importantly, what do you suppose the infraction would be for these groomers and their dogs? I'm betting they'd be heading to the big house for some serious hard time!


text: TORONTO -- Yankees veteran CC Sabathia extended his mastery over Toronto on a day that saw young Jays right-hander Drew Hutchison pay for his lack of control. Air Force 1 Grey Fake . Sabathia, in his 400th American League start, wobbled in the first and sixth innings but retired 16 of 17 between the flashpoints to help New York to a 6-4 victory Sunday afternoon. The six-foot-seven left-hander, who looks like he sleeps in his baggy uniform, improved his record at the Rogers Centre to 7-1 and his career mark against the Jays to 15-4. He gave up four runs on seven hits and struck out six in a six-inning, 93-pitch performance that featured 65 strikes. "He threw great," said Yankees first baseman Kelly Johnson. "He mixed his pitches, he was in the zone, guys were off balance. Thats a good sign. "He got more and more confident and his stuff got even better as the game went on. The Yankee win came in the rubber match of a three-game series. New York (3-3) returns to the Bronx for a nine-game homestand while Toronto (3-4) has a day off before hosting Houston. "Today was just on me," said the 23-year-old Hutchison, who suffered his first Rogers Centre loss in six starts. "It was my loss." Hutchison (1-1) lasted just 3 1/3 innings. He struck out six but walked three and hit a batsman with all four scoring. In only his second big league start since returning from Tommy John surgery, he gave up six earned runs on six hits while throwing 78 pitches including 49 for strikes. After striking out 19 and walking just four in spring training, he has struck out 10 and walked six in his last two starts. Toronto manager John Gibbons says Hutchison has been struggling of late, although he got away with it previously. "He was high in the (strike) zone a lot. Thats not who he is," said Gibbons. "Hell get back down there. "He looked a little excited today. He looked like he was overthrowing. Its not uncommon for young guys to do that. But hes going to be fine. Hes the least of our worries, if you want to know the truth." Asked what his worries were, Gibbons laughed and said: "Where Im going to eat this evening." But then he got serious. "To have a big year, youve got to start winning some games like this," he said. "Its not easy, you cant fall behind and spot them five runs, fall behind 6-1. But there comes a time youve got to start winning win some of these games, especially at home. Youve got to find that magic, have that magic or something. And hopefully we can find that soon." Toronto came close with two outs in the eighth with a Jose Bautista drive caught at the warning track and an Edwin Encarnacion triple that almost went out. But Dioner Navarro grounded out to end the rally. With one out in the ninth and closer David Robertson (who got his second save) on the mound, Brett Lawrie singled and pinch-hitter Adam Lind walked. But pinch-hitter Colby Rasmus popped out and Melky Cabrera, who earlier had homered for the third day in a row, flied out to right. While Cabrera is hitting .323 and has tied his home-run total of three from an injury-ravaged 2013 season, other Jays bats have been cold to open this season. Twelve of Torontos 22 runs have come via home run, with Cabrera and Bautista accounting for six of the Jays eight homers. But getting the scoreboard to tick over other ways has proved difficult. Its early days yet but Encarnacion is hitting .179 and has yet to register an RBI. Bautista has found the fences and has reached base safely in all seven games but has a .227 batting average. Lawrie is hitting .120, Rasmus .087. Outside of Cabrera and Lind (.308), Maicer Izturis (.500) is at the top of the class with multi-hit games in all four of his starts. Toronto came into the game hitting just .209 as a team. Only Houston, at .195, was worse in the AL. That means trouble unless your pitching can hold the opposition close. The Jays did get that in 5 2/3 innings of scoreless relief from Todd Redmond, Steve Delabar and Esmil Rogers. But the damage had already been done. The Yankees came into the game without a home run, marking only the fifth time since 1923 that New York had gone without a homer for the first five games of the campaign. Brett Gardner changed all of that with a two-run shot in the fourth. Yankees veteran Derek Jeter singled to right field to lead off the third inning for his 3,319th career hit, which tied him with Paul Molitor for eighth on MLBs all-time hits list and fourth on the AL hits list. "Its special. I grew up watching Paul, I played against him briefly and I have a lot of respect for him and his career. Any time you talk about eighth in anything, its special, so it definitely means a lot," said Jeter, who has reached base safely in 19 straight games against the Jays The 33-year-old Sabathia gave up a leadoff homer to Cabrera -- his second leadoff home run in three days -- before settling down to dispatch one Blue Jay after another. Sabathia, a six-time all-star who is making US$23 million this season, improved his major-league record to 206-116 in bouncing back from a rocky Opening Day start in Houston that saw him give up six runs in the first two innings. "I threw the fastball more, just worked it in and out," he said. "That made the other pitches more effective." But Toronto finally got to the big man with two outs in the sixth thanks to three singles and a double. Dioner Navarros double scored one run before Erik Kratz singled two more home to reduce the lead to 6-4. Hutchison, who denied he was over-excited on the day, walked two and hit a batsman in a wobbly 25-pitch first inning that saw all three mistakes come home. A leadoff walk scored when Gardner stole second, was moved to third by Jeter and came home on Jacoby Ellsburys groundout. After Brian McCann walked and Alfonso Soriano was hit by a pitch, Johnson doubled both home for a 3-0 lead. Cabreras homer, on Sabathias second delivery of the day, made it 3-1. A leadoff walk to Brian Roberts turned into another run in the fourth. Roberts stole second and was driven home by Yangervis Solarte, an eight-year minor-leaguer from Venezuela who is turning heads early in the season. Gardner then slammed a 3-2 pitch over the right-field fence for a 6-1 lead. Air Force 1 Red Sale .

This morning's commute in photos
Jon! Look! I got Megan's Fortune at lunch today!
With an isolated cell making its way toward downtown and a more powerful storm looming to the west, I decided hammering it on the way home would be a good idea. Ed might like to chase Kansas City Weather on occasion. I'd rather race the storms, if you will. But only if the odds are somewhat stacked in my favor. I'm zealous, not retarded.
Karen and I did encounter some rain, but mostly just sprinkles and wet pavement.

I've used similar verbiage a time or two before when referencing the weather. Like I tell my family, if weather looks really threatening, I'll use the bus. Although back in May of last year I still had to drive to the bus stop on bad days. I haven't driven my car to work since I moved, thanks to being right on a bus route. I love my new 10-20.

George Clooney Lashes Back at "Irresponsible" and "Dangerous" Tabloid
George Clooney responded to an "at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous" article in the notoriously garbage-y Daily Mail this morning with an essay for USA Today.
The Daily Mail article, which has been removed from the site, claimed that the mother of George Clooney's fiancé, Amal Alamuddin, was opposed to their marriage on religious grounds. Clooney explains in USA Today:
I want to speak to the irresponsibility of Monday's Daily Mail report. I seldom respond to tabloids, unless it involves someone else and their safety or well being. The Daily Mail has printed a completely fabricated story about my fiancée's mother opposing our marriage for religious reasons. It says Amal's mother has been telling "half of Beirut" that she's against the wedding. It says they joke about traditions in the Druze religion that end up with the death of the bride.
Let me repeat that: the death of the bride.
He continues, denying that any part of the story is factual and accusing the Daily Mail of irresponsibly exploiting nonexistent religious differences:
But this lie involves larger issues. The irresponsibility, in this day and age, to exploit religious differences where none exist, is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous. We have family members all over the world, and the idea that someone would inflame any part of that world for the sole reason of selling papers should be criminal.
After demonstrating that the story has already spread to many other outlets, he ends with: "They must be so very proud." Y'ouch! TIME reached out to the Daily Mail, who still claim that their story was sound. (That is, as sound as any of their stories are.)
[The] "story was not a fabrication but supplied in good faith by a reputable and trusted freelance journalist … However, we accept Mr. Clooney's assurance that the story is inaccurate and we apologize to him, Miss Amal Alamuddin and her mother, Baria, for any distress caused. We have removed the article from our website and will be contacting Mr. Clooney's representatives to discuss giving him the opportunity to set the record straight."

Young Pastor Challenges Ministry Leaders to 'Believe'
Though young, Steven Furtick didn't let his age stop him from relaying a powerful message and challenge to a group of pastors looking for some encouragement in their ministry.
The 31-year-old pastor from Charlotte, N.C., made it clear at the Refuel – Innovate Church conference on Tuesday that he's been in the trenches of everyday church life and has experienced the fears, the failures and the bad days that come with starting a ministry from scratch.
"Don't be writing me off because I'm young," Furtick, who leads Elevation Church, told pastors. "You need a young punk every once in a while just to get up and remind you that nothing is impossible with God."
"I started a church with nothing but a dream ... nothing but a calling."
Furtick was invited by Pastor Jonathan Falwell, son of the late Dr. Jerry Falwell, to speak at the two-day conference designed as a retreat to refuel church leaders and reinvigorate their ministries.
Falwell was among the few people who chose to support Furtick when he moved out to Charlotte to start a church six years ago.
The young pastor took the speaking opportunity on Tuesday to be honest about fears and failures with fellow ministry leaders rather than be one of those speakers who "talk some smack about how much faith you have and pretend like you never have a bad day."
"One of the frustrating things that happens to us in ministry is God is moving in our lives, ... plants this seed of inspiration in your heart about something He's working on on your behalf but someone else cuts in line and God blesses them and forgets about you," he said.
Pastors can often feel that "God gets busy blessing others."
But even if the situation gets desperate – from discouraging to hopeless – Furtick challenged pastors to simply obey what Jesus said when the daughter of one of the rulers of the synagogue died.
"Just believe."
"Some of you are trying to figure out something that God wants you to just believe," Furtick stressed.
That may sound overly simplified especially for situations that seem complicated, but the Elevation pastor clarified that it's not a simple statement as much as it is "a focused demand."
"Just believe" doesn't mean to just cheer up and believe you can make it. Rather, "this is something you're going to have to give your entire effort to, that this is so singularly important that you trust me (Jesus) in faith that you're going to have to focus all of your energy in believing."
"I (Jesus) want you to trust me enough to devote everything you have ... to believing what I said is true and living like what I said is true until you see the manifestation around you of what I've already spoken inside of you," Furtick challenged. "Just believe."
There are moments when "the enemy" or a voice of opposition will say it's impossible and plant doubts.
Furtick experienced those very doubts when a church network declined to give him support, after concluding that his style of preaching would not reach the people of Charlotte.
But Furtick stressed that the greatest doubt comes from oneself.
"Put them (doubts) all out," he told conference attendees in Lynchburg, Va.
"Is it possible that God let a situation or a dream die in your life only so that He can raise up something better to show the world that He is God?"
Today, Elevation Church draws 9,000 people and has been recognized as one of the country's fastest growing churches.
Though the church has brought thousands to Christ, Furtick realized that he needs to dream bigger.
And he challenged ministry leaders to do the same. "If nobody has laughed at the size of your vision lately, you're not dreaming big enough."
Refuel is taking place at Thomas Road Baptist Church, with main sessions being broadcast live on the Web. Speakers this year include leadership expert John Maxwell, Central Christian Church pastor Jud Wilhite, missiologist Ed Stetzer, and Teen Mania Ministries co-founder Ron Luce, among others. The conference concludes Wednesday.

So, what do you think about those Medicare numbers? What, you haven't heard about them? Well, they haven't been front-page news. But something remarkable has been happening on the health-spending front, and it should (but probably won't) transform a lot of our political debate.
The story so far: We've all seen projections of giant federal deficits over the next few decades, and there's a whole industry devoted to issuing dire warnings about the budget and demanding cuts in Socialsecuritymedicareandmedicaid. Policy wonks have long known, however, that there's no such program, and that health care, rather than retirement, was driving those scary projections. Why? Because, historically, health spending has grown much faster than G.D.P., and it was assumed that this trend would continue.
But a funny thing has happened: Health spending has slowed sharply, and it's already well below projections made just a few years ago. The falloff has been especially pronounced in Medicare, which is spending $1,000 less per beneficiary than the Congressional Budget Office projected just four years ago.
This is a really big deal, in at least three ways.
First, our supposed fiscal crisis has been postponed, perhaps indefinitely. The federal government is still running deficits, but they're way down. True, the red ink is still likely to swell again in a few years, if only because more baby boomers will retire and start collecting benefits; but, these days, projections of federal debt as a percentage of G.D.P. show it creeping up rather than soaring. We'll probably have to raise more revenue eventually, but the long-term fiscal gap now looks much more manageable than the deficit scolds would have you believe.
Second, the slowdown in Medicare helps refute one common explanation of the health-cost slowdown: that it's mainly the product of a depressed economy, and that spending will surge again once the economy recovers. That could explain low private spending, but Medicare is a government program, and shouldn't be affected by the recession. In other words, the good news on health costs is for real.
But what accounts for this good news? The third big implication of the Medicare cost miracle is that everything the usual suspects have been saying about fiscal responsibility is wrong.
For years, pundits have accused President Obama of failing to take on entitlement spending. These accusations always involved magical thinking on the politics, assuming that Mr. Obama could somehow get Republicans to negotiate in good faith if only he really wanted to. But they also implicitly dismissed as worthless all the cost-control measures included in the Affordable Care Act. Inside the Beltway, cost control apparently isn't considered real unless it involves slashing benefits. One pundit went so far as to say, after the Obama administration rejected proposals to raise the eligibility age for Medicare, "America gets the shaft."
It turns out, however, that raising the Medicare age would hardly save any money. Meanwhile, Medicare is spending much less than expected, and those Obamacare cost-saving measures are at least part of the story. The conventional wisdom on what is and isn't serious is completely wrong.
While we're on the subject of health costs, there are two other stories you should know about.
One involves the supposed savings from running Medicare through for-profit insurance companies. That's the way the drug benefit works, and conservatives love to point out that this benefit has ended up costing much less than projected, which they claim proves that privatization is the way to go. But the budget office has a new report on this issue, and it finds that privatization had nothing to do with it. Instead, Medicare Part D is costing less than expected partly because enrollment has been low and partly because an absence of new blockbuster drugs has led to an overall slowdown in pharmaceutical spending.
The other involves the "sticker shock" that opponents of health reform have been predicting for years. Bulletin: It's still not happening. Over all, health insurance premiums seem likely to rise only modestly next year, and they are on track to be flat or even falling in several states, including Connecticut and Arkansas.
What's the moral here? For years, pundits and politicians have insisted that guaranteed health care is an impossible dream, even though every other advanced country has it. Covering the uninsured was supposed to be unaffordable; Medicare as we know it was supposed to be unsustainable. But it turns out that incremental steps to improve incentives and reduce costs can achieve a lot, and covering the uninsured isn't hard at all.
When it comes to ensuring that Americans have access to health care, the message of the data is simple: Yes, we can.
